Because I have to think about it and remember to do it. And have enough storage in my laptop that it can store all my full res files and bring that with me everywhere.

And hope my laptop doesn’t get stolen again. Or have a plan to back that up.

I currently do literally nothing and all my photos and videos are seamlessly everywhere.

I’m not sure I understand how anyone could think syncing over a cable is a better solution.

iCloud backups and photo sync is amazing, especially while traveling. I can be almost anywhere and break or lose or hVe my phone stolen and lose virtually no data anywhere in the world.

My photos and videos are backed up as soon as I take them, not 12 hours later when I plug into a computer, if I remember to and no one steals it in the hotel room.
